Sally was my neighbor, best friend and "running buddy" from early 1978 until she moved back home to her beloved Arkansas. She was a second mom to our kids. Our daughter was born Dec of '78 and oh the stories I could tell you on those two !! We got to see her when she was in Assisted Living and in true Sally style she got her friend to greet us in the foyer. When the friend ask if we were the "Texas folks"? Who should come out from behind one of the columns ? I loved her phone calls and consider it an honor to be one of her "buttons" on her phone! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of her family and friends, She was definitely "one of a kind"! Garland & Emma Dykes

So sorry for her family’s loss. My family , (Elvis and Annie Barber and my siblings ). loved her. Thankful for the years she was here in Texas and God blessing us as she married my older brother, Alvie Barber. She was so beautiful and precious to me. I’m one of her sister-in-laws. She loved our brother and our family but first she loved her Lord and Savior. Thank you,,,Martha Barber RIDENOUR

So sad to see this. I’ve known Sally most of my life as her brother, I D, and my dad were good friends. Her dad said she’d to give me rides back and forth to school. She lived out of state for years, but we reconnected in recent years. I always thought she was beautiful and funny. I admired how she embraced the blindness that she experienced in her later years. I delivered medicine to her many times when I worked at the pharmacy and we always reminisced about times past. Sending sincere sympathy to her son and her surviving relatives.
